There's no arguing that TV, like society, is making great strides toward the acceptance of gay lifestyles. We can still remember a time when a list such as this wouldn't be possible. So whether it's a kiss between a couple as with "Modern Family's" Cam and Mitchell or a toe in the water like "90210's" Teddy, this list aims to celebrate the big, sexy, joyful, though sometimes ugly and politically incorrect, gay TV moments of 2010. Werq!

There are many ways to look at Sam's (Sam Trammell) homoerotic dream of Bill (Stephen Moyer). And every way is pretty hot. It was probably a subconscious call for help from a then imprisoned Bill to Sam, who has had a taste of the vamp's healing blood. Regardless, we thank the producers for the way in which the plea came to fruition.

Hollywood loves to rewrite history and that's especially true when it comes to ancient Rome when gay relationships were the norm. Yet, they're severely underrepresented in Hollywood's portrayals. So, it was probably very educational for viewers when Starz introduced Barca (Antonio Te Maioho), a gladiator with no secrets to hide when it came to his relationship with a male slave. The added bonus? He's just as tough, ruthless and competitive as any man in the arena.

After fans took to Facebook and demanded that Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) kiss, producers promised they would make it happen. It played out in an episode surrounding Mitchell's fear of PDA. When the big moment came, it wasn't that big at all. And that was probably the best thing for all of us.

After the embarrassment that was Ade's (Jessica Lowndes) supposed lesbian storyline in Season 2, many of us were wary of the news that the show was doing it again -- but this time with one of the guys. Color us surprised that strapping playboy, Teddy (Trevor Donovan), was the one to get the honor of being the gay character and that the storyline has lasted for more than a few episodes. Does Teddy erase the shame of Ade's passing lesbian fancy? Not really, but we're still rooting for him.

Despite the years of rumors that Latin pop star Ricky Martin was gay, his 2010 coming out was a mixed bag for fans. Some said, "What took you so long?" Others railed against his declaration, even going so far as banning his songs on Spanish radio stations. So, what did the hunk do? He went on "Oprah" and told all -- looking very much the content father of two who has worked through his fears. It doesn't hurt that he also reminded us that he can turn on the famous shaking bon-bon at a moment's notice when he performed with Joss Stone. Making fans swoon is the best revenge.

How pimp is it that Neil Patrick Harris has risen to being identified with simply his initials and we all know exactly who's being referred to? What makes NPH the king of the TV gays is that he answers several questions by just being himself. Can an actor come out without ruining his career? Yes. Can a gay person play straight roles? Yes. Hollywood, you've been NPH'd.

Being out doesn't mean you don't have gay secrets. And that was the case for many of us who faithfully watched this show. While we may have called it trashy, unrepresentative of gay culture at large and clearly unwatchable in public, many of us still tuned in. Dubbed "the gay real housewives," even Bravo is scrambling to put together its own version, which we'll secretly love to watch, as well.

Even the queen of media, Oprah Winfrey, and her best gal pal, Gayle King, could see that their camping trip to Yosemite would register some raised eyebrows among the gossip mongers. In fact, just as they were getting ready to sleep on the first night, Gayle said, "Let's just add to that lesbian rumor." To which Oprah Winfrey replied, "Lesbian ruuuuuumors!" We don't believe the rumors for a second, but was there anything gayer than that camping trip?

When you put all your eggs in one basket, chances are some will crack. That's exactly what happened with Scotty (Luke Macfarlane) and Kevin (Matthew Rhys), who many in the gay community look to for one of the most long-lasting gay relationships on TV. While the show tried not to place blame, many viewers chose sides. The couple patched it up quickly (too quickly for some viewers), but when it was bad, it was horrible.

There are moments when "Glee" hits that spot, which shows why it holds a place in pop culture. The introduction of Blaine, played by Darren Criss, into Kurt's (Chris Colfer) storyline was one of those moments. It arrived amid the outrage of teen bullying and the news of several suicides by gay teens. And in Kurt's crumbling world, Blaine showed that being gay was nothing to be ashamed of as he was open, proud and popular at his school with a zero tolerance rule for bullying. And he made it look and sound so good while doing so.

It has been a long road for Callie (Sara Ramirez) to Arizona (Jessica Capshaw). We always knew they were the couple that really shouldn't work. So, why was that tearful scene in the airport when Arizona left Callie for Africa so hard on us? Maybe, it's because all their differences finally came to a head and they weren't able to rebound that time. Maybe, because it was too real.

Margaret Cho may not have been the best dancer, but she's naturally expressive. She took the samba as her rallying cry and threw a raging gay pride party on stage. Maybe she was out of step for the judges, but the performance was exactly in pace with what's going on with gay teen suicides and bullying. That earns her a 10 in our score book.

Kim had already gabbed all about her tryst with DJ Tracy Young to the media. It was a short-lived fling while they worked on the remix of "Tardy For The Party." But, there's a difference between reading about it and seeing it play out on TV. On the show, she brought Tracy out to hang with the other housewives. While she had a strict "don't touch, don't talk" policy when it came to Tracy, it's significant that she was brazen enough to share that part of her life on-camera.

Let's face it, Olympic figure skating costumes are pretty gay to begin with. That's why it's so astounding that Johnny Weir can take them to whole new bedazzling levels. Lady Gaga would be proud and then ask, "Where can I get that?" The best part is he knows that his outrageous fashion only adds to the fact that conservative Olympic judges would punish him with low scores. Johnny, you were robbed!
